Importing propolice into MidnightBSD. Propolice is going to |
| 8 |
|
|
provide us with much greater security and stability in the |
| 9 |
|
|
long run. If upgrading from a pre-propolice system, please |
| 10 |

follow the these instructions: |

|
|
|
| 12 |
|
|
cd /usr/src/lib/libc && make obj && make && make install |

buildworld and kernel |

|
|
|
| 18 |
|
|
It is adviced that any mports which were installed and/or built |
| 19 |
|
|
prior to the propolice update also be updated. If any errors |
| 20 |
|
|
or issue are encounted, please contact security@midnightbsd.org |
| 21 |
|
|
and we will be sure to investigate and come up with an expeditious |
| 22 |
|

fix. |

For stability and compatibility reasons, it was decided that MidnightBSD |
| 66 |
|
|
sync with FreeBSD 6.1 Release. Nearly every change between the original |
| 67 |
|
|
fork date of February 24, 2006 and the release of FreeBSD 6.1 in May |
| 68 |
|
|
2006 will be merged. Beyond this, MidnightBSD will be a "real" fork and |
| 69 |
|
|
will not sync every little change with FreeBSD. |

Added MidnightBSD_version and bumped the FreeBSD version as we've |

To build a kernel |
| 187 |
|
|
----------------- |
| 188 |
laffer1 |
169 |
If you are updating from a prior version of MidnightBSD (even one just |
| 189 |
laffer1 |
2 |
a few days old), you should follow this procedure. With a |
| 190 |
|
|
/usr/obj tree with a fresh buildworld, |
| 191 |
|
|
make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE |
| 192 |
|
|
make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE |
| 193 |
|
|
|
| 194 |
|
|
To test a kernel once |
| 195 |
|
|
--------------------- |
| 196 |
|
|
If you just want to boot a kernel once (because you are not sure |
| 197 |
|
|
if it works, or if you want to boot a known bad kernel to provide |
| 198 |
|
|
debugging information) run |
| 199 |
|
|
make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE KODIR=/boot/testkernel |
| 200 |
|
|
nextboot -k testkernel |
| 201 |
|
|
|
| 202 |
|
|
To just build a kernel when you know that it won't mess you up |
| 203 |
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 204 |
|
|
This assumes you are already running a 6.X system. Replace |
| 205 |
|
|
${arch} with the architecture of your machine (e.g. "i386", |
| 206 |
laffer1 |
273 |
"amd64", "ia64", "pc98", "sparc64", etc). |
| 207 |
laffer1 |

|
| 208 |
|
|
cd src/sys/${arch}/conf |
| 209 |
|
|
config KERNEL_NAME_HERE |
| 210 |
|
|
cd ../compile/KERNEL_NAME_HERE |
| 211 |
|
|
make depend |
| 212 |
|
|
make |
| 213 |
|
|
make install |
| 214 |
|
|
|
| 215 |
|
|
If this fails, go to the "To build a kernel" section. |
| 216 |
|
|
|

Make sure that you've read the UPDATING file to understand the |
| 272 |
|
|
tweaks to various things you need. At this point in the life |
| 273 |
|
|
cycle of current, things change often and you are on your own |
| 274 |
|
|
to cope. The defaults can also change, so please read ALL of |
| 275 |
|
|
the UPDATING entries. |
| 276 |
|
|
|
| 277 |
|
|
Also, if you are tracking -current, you must be subscribed to |
| 278 |
|
|
freebsd-current@freebsd.org. Make sure that before you update |
| 279 |
|
|
your sources that you have read and understood all the recent |
| 280 |
|
|
messages there. If in doubt, please track -stable which has |
| 281 |
|
|
much fewer pitfalls. |
| 282 |
|
|
|
| 283 |
|
|
[1] If you have third party modules, such as vmware, you |
| 284 |
|
|
should disable them at this point so they don't crash your |
| 285 |
|
|
system on reboot. |
| 286 |
|
|
|
| 287 |
|
|
[3] From the bootblocks, boot -s, and then do |
| 288 |
|
|
fsck -p |
| 289 |
|
|
mount -u / |
| 290 |
|
|
mount -a |
| 291 |
|
|
cd src |
| 292 |
|
|
adjkerntz -i # if CMOS is wall time |
| 293 |
|
|
Also, when doing a major release upgrade, it is required that |
| 294 |
|
|
you boot into single user mode to do the installworld. |
| 295 |
|
|
|
| 296 |
|
|
[4] Note: This step is non-optional. Failure to do this step |
| 297 |
|
|
can result in a significant reduction in the functionality of the |
| 298 |
|
|
system. Attempting to do it by hand is not recommended and those |
| 299 |
|
|
that pursue this avenue should read this file carefully, as well |
| 300 |
|
|
as the archives of freebsd-current and freebsd-hackers mailing lists |
| 301 |
|
|
for potential gotchas. |
| 302 |
|
|
|
| 303 |
|
|
[5] Usually this step is a noop. However, from time to time |
| 304 |
|
|
you may need to do this if you get unknown user in the following |
| 305 |
|
|
step. It never hurts to do it all the time. |
| 306 |
|
|
|
| 307 |
|
|
[8] In order to have a kernel that can run the 5.x binaries |
| 308 |
|
|
needed to do an installworld, you must include the COMPAT_FREEBSD5 |
| 309 |
|
|
option in your kernel. Failure to do so may leave you with a system |
| 310 |
|
|
that is hard to boot to recover. A similar kernel option COMPAT_FREEBSD5 |
| 311 |
|
|
is required to run the 5.x binaries on more recent kernels. |
| 312 |
|
|
|
| 313 |
|
|
Make sure that you merge any new devices from GENERIC since the |
| 314 |
|
|
last time you updated your kernel config file. |
| 315 |
|
|
|
| 316 |
|
|
[9] When checking out sources, you must include the -P flag to have |
| 317 |
|
|
cvs prune empty directories. |
| 318 |
|
|
|
| 319 |

|
If CPUTYPE is defined in your /etc/make.conf, make sure to use the |
| 320 |
|
|
"?=" instead of the "=" assignment operator, so that buildworld can |
| 321 |
|
|
override the CPUTYPE if it needs to. |
| 322 |
|
|
|
| 323 |
|
|
MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX must be defined in an environment variable, and |
| 324 |
|
|
not on the command line, or in /etc/make.conf. buildworld will |
| 325 |
|
|
warn if it is improperly defined. |
